First, the movie was great. I highly recommend it if you're into Cirque at all. You won't be disappointed. You might be scared shitless, as I am every time I see something like this, but definitely not disappointed. (Katie does not like the circus, it stems from a fear of watching someone die. Katie is not sure why she's talking in the 3rd person tonight. It could be because of item number 2...)

Second, my head continues to be a freaking nightmare. I like the idea of the chocolate withdrawal headache, but wouldn't that have come on a lot sooner than 2 weeks after cutting it out? If I don't have caffeine I'm dying within like 6 hours, it just doesn't make sense to me that it'd take 12 days to get the same reaction from chocolate. That, plus the now incessant muscle twitching that was one of my classic pre-surgery symptoms, and well, mostly I'm just hoping that things are inflamed and exacerbated by stress. September 9th cannot come soon enough.

Third, yes I am on the cancellation list in case anything comes up before September 9th. I danced briefly with the idea of an ER trip last night, but since today was a hugely big day at work, I just went to bed instead.

Fourth, I'm guest blogging here tomorrow. I'm finally going to reveal my most embarrassing moment (to date, I should probably specify). And see if I can't get myself kicked out of someone else's blog. Heh.

Fifth, I think we're going to be taking a mini-vacation Labor Day weekend. Because we like to support oil companies as often as possible, and frankly, after a week with students, I'm already ready for a vacation. And also, there's a school and friends we want to see, and Nashville is only an 8 hour car ride. And did I mention we like to support oil companies?

Feed Me!

About Me

I'm a 26 year old former teacher turned full time graduate student. I live in Southern California after a 3 year stint in New Orleans with my husband Slappy (formerly The Fiance) and our cats (yea, we're those people).
In February of 2006 I was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation, which is a fancy way of saying that my brain was too big for my skull (get it? overflowing brain). On November 27th, 2007 I had brain surgery which allows my brain to exist indefinitely in my spinal canal. 13 staples, one cow heart lining and a multitude of doctors and medications later, I'm living a much improved decompressed life.
